Performing
songs of migration, epic journeys, displacement and joy. A celebration
of cultural diversity and the universal tales that unite us all. Dedicated
to all those who still seek refuge and a place they can call home.

As the world
races towards another futile war, we believe it is time for our leaders
to listen to those millions of voices who are crying out for a better
solution than that offered by the prospect of yet more death and destruction.

We fear
that the victims of this conflict will not be those people who our governments
say are our "enemies". Instead, this war will be paid for with the blood
of innocent men, women and children- people very much like ourselves.

We are Christian,
Muslim, Jewish, Atheist and Agnostic. We are young, we are old. We are
from every state of Australia. We
are farmers, office workers, teachers, professional musicians... and more.
Our political beliefs are diverse, as are our ethnic origins.

We will
not be silent and accept the blood on our hands while the politicians
and those whose interests they serve wage this unjust war in our name.
